Steady supersonic flow past an almost straight wedge with large vertex angle. (Q1399880)

This paper considers steady, potential supersonic flow past an almost straight wedge with piecewise smooth boundary and large vertex angle. Under the assumptions that the vertex angle is less than an extreme angle determined by the shock polar and that the total variation of the tangent angle along each edge is sufficiently small, a solution is found as the limit of approximate solutions constructed with a modified Glimm scheme.
